Manuscripta juridica

Informatio iuris: in causa testamenti Johannis de Lignano , coram Antonio Trivultio (1504/5-1522). For the plaintiff Antonius Maria, against the two defendant females. Famous case, discussed in detail by Thomas Brix in a publication 2016. The present MS preserves other two informationes iuris in this case (fol. 406r-v, 417r-v; 480r-485v) and ten consilia (fol. 88r-106v, 405r-v et 418r-v, 406r-v et 417r-v, 439r-477r, and 487r-497r). All these had so far not been known: see McCall, 'John of Legnano'; Schulte, Geschichte II 258 quotes from Fantuzzi p. 33 that the testament gave rise to a law suit in which many famous jurists gave their opinion, but nothing more. In addition, Brix found four more consilia to this case in printed editions: in volumes of consilia by Bartholomaeus Socinus, Carolus Ruinus, Petrus Philippus Corneus, Johannes Crottus

Incipit:

• Testator quidam suum condidit testamentum, in quo inter cetera per eum ordinata disposuit in hunc modum, videlicet: 'Item prohibuit dictus testator alienacionem quorumcumque bonorum immobilium sue hereditatis, eo quia voluit ipsa bona perpetuo per manere intra familiam dicti testatoris et pro usu infra deputando. Item prohibuit dictus testator alienationem quorumcumque librorum sue hereditatis eo quia voluit dictos libros permanere intra familiam dicti testatoris et pro usu infra deputando. In omnibus autem suis bonis mobilibus et immobilibus, iuribus et actionibus tam presentibus quam futuris, B. eius filium legiptimum et naturalem et pariter cum eo quemcumque alium eius filium legiptimum et naturalem nasciturum ex ipso testatore et de legiptimo matrimonio equis portionibus sibi universales heredes instituit ...'

Explicit:

• et maxime attenta mente et uoluntate ipsius testatoris que est domina in fideicommissi et substitutionis iuribus uulgaribus
